The Accidental Parent will launch Nationwide
on Grandparents Day 2024
ATLANTA, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the Orphan Society
of America, one in every 28 children in America – more than 2.7
million children, has a parent behind bars. As of 2011, 73.7
million children under 18, 28% (20.6 million) lived with no parent.
More than half of the children living with no parents lived with
grandparents.
For centuries, grandparents have been the glue that holds
families together, and on Grandparent's Day, 2024, they will be
celebrated with the launch of author Adrienne Alexander-Allen's new book, The
Accidental Parent: Nurturing Love in Unforeseen Circumstances,
But it isn't just for grandparents. "The Accidental Parent" is a
heartfelt companion for anyone thrust into the world of becoming a
primary caregiver overnight, offering the tools and encouragement
needed to create a nurturing and supportive family environment.
"As I wrote this book, I reflected on each time I've been
touched by kinship care – being raised by my grandparents, raising
my younger brother, and now raising my granddaughter. The range of
emotions I feel when thinking about my circumstances and the
response I get from others when sharing my story lets me know how
important this book truly is." Adrienne
Alexander, Author and CEO, IPY Agency
